2012 Map of Humrick

About this map

Humrick and Bethel sit along the border of Illinois and Indiana, where a grid of rural roads meets the winding courses of the Little Vermilion River and Vermilion River. This 2012 survey captures a landscape defined by its waterways and small, localized settlements. To the north, the small community of Meeks lies near the Whippoorwill Br, while the southern reaches are marked by the drainage of Yankee Br and Jonathan Cr. Significant for local history and genealogy, the map identifies numerous family-named and community burial sites, including Elwood Church Cem, Yankee Point Cem, and Whitlock Cem. Physical landmarks such as the Devils Backbone, Deadmans Hollow, and the prominent Horseshoe Bend along the river illustrate the varied topography that breaks the pattern of agricultural sections. The map also shows recreational and community spaces like Camp Assurance and Cherokee Hills Camp along the river banks.
